Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A piezoelectric device comprising: a piezoelectric element comprising at least one piezoelectric body comprising a piezoelectric polymer film having electrodes on both main surfaces thereof; an inputting unit for inputting predetermined information to said piezoelectric element; a memory for storing temperature dependency information comprising a piezoelectric constant and a Young's modulus of said piezoelectric polymer film, and electrostatic capacitance of said piezoelectric element; a measuring unit for measuring the electrostatic capacitance of said piezoelectric element, said measuring unit having an execution mode and a non-execution mode; a correction unit for correcting said input information based on said temperature dependency information and said electrostatic capacitance measured by said measuring unit; and a switch for switching between said execution mode of said measuring unit and said non-execution mode of said measuring unit, wherein when said measuring unit is set in said execution mode, the measurement unit measures the electrostatic capacitance of said piezoelectric element and said correction unit determines a temperature of said piezoelectric element based on a measured result of said measuring unit and the temperature dependency information of said electrostatic capacitance, and wherein when said measuring unit is set in said non-execution mode, said correcting unit corrects said input information based on the determined temperature and said temperature dependency information.

2. The piezoelectric device according to claim 1 , wherein said inputting unit comprises a sound source unit accumulating a sound source, and said input information comprises an acoustic signal, and said correction unit corrects the acoustic signal based on the detected temperature and the temperature dependency information of an amount of displacement when a voltage is applied and an amount of deflection when a stress is applied in said piezoelectric element.

3

3. The piezoelectric device according to claim 1 , wherein said inputting unit comprises a pressing unit for applying pressure to a specific position of said piezoelectric element, and said input information includes position information and pressure information, and said correction unit corrects said position information and said pressure information based on the detected temperature and temperature dependency information of an amount of displacement when a voltage is applied and an amount of deflection when a stress is applied in said piezoelectric element.

4

4. The piezoelectric device according to claim 1 , wherein said piezoelectric element includes a piezoelectric speaker.

5

5. The piezoelectric device according to claim 1 , wherein an electrode formed on at least one main surface is divided into a plurality of regions.

6

6. The piezoelectric device according to claim 1 , wherein the piezoelectric element includes a touch panel.

7

7. The piezoelectric device according to claim 1 , wherein said piezoelectric polymer material comprises poly-lactic acid.
